Jarvis Landry racks up ten catches against the Bills.

Landry was targeted a team-high 13 times in the Week 15 loss, gaining 99 yards on his ten receptions. He still has at least five receptions in every game this season, remaining the only player to do so in 2017. Landry obviously offers a very high floor for the first week of the fantasy championship next week, and he should remain in fantasy lineups.

Joe Flacco, Ravens improve to 8-6 with win over the Browns.

Flacco was 26/42 for 288 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the 27-10 win. He also rushed four times for three yards, including a two-yard score. Baltimore will look to take care of business against the Colts on Saturday, but even in a really good matchup, there are probably better  options than Flacco to play in the fantasy championship.

Marqueis Gray gets two carries in Week 15.

Gray picked up seven yards on his two attempts. He’s a real-life contributor for Miami but should not be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Jakeem Grant gets two offensive touches in Week 15.

Grant had a seven-yard carry and 13-yard reception (on one target), and he also returned punts and kicks for the Dolphins. Grant isn’t a recommended fantasy option right now, as his role isn’t big enough on offense.

Kenyan Drake scores in Week 15.

Drake again played a very good game for the Dolphins, carrying 16 times for 78 yards and a touchdown on the ground along with six receptions for 35 yards. There were some negative rushing plays that in part led to Miami going with a pass-heavy approach, but fantasy owners must be happy with Drake’s performance. Drake is setting himself up nicely for a huge role in 2018, and it’ll be interesting to see how he performs over the final two weeks of the season. He’s a very good option in fantasy lineups for Week 16.

Devin Funchess held to one reception as Panthers top Packers.

It went for just 19 yards, as despite Cam Newton throwing for four scores, Funchess couldn’t make much of an impact. He had a chance to catch a touchdown pass in traffic, but a big hit jarred the ball loose and caused Funchess to possibly aggravate his shoulder injury. Assuming he’s fine for Week 16, the Bucs are a great matchup for the Michigan product, and he should be in lineups as a WR1/WR2.

Damiere Byrd scores twice in win over the Packers.

Byrd caught three passes for 25 yards, including two red-zone touchdowns. The scores were the first two of Byrd’s career, but the 24-year-old looks to have emerged as the team’s number-two receiver behind Devin Funchess. He’s worth looking at as a FLEX option in Week 16 against the Buccaneers, but there are probably more reliable options for the fantasy championship.
